Religion provides many people with comfort in difficult times, as well as a sense of purpose. Of course, this applies equally to many religions, not just the Abrahamic religions that worship God. Of course, looking for a sense of purpose is different from really believing. Reason may tell those who enquire, that there is no God. And there are many ways outside religion to obtain comfort and solace. But people do not need to abandon their faiths just because logic and reason say so. Even Elaine Pagels ("Beyond Belief", "The Secret Gospel of Thomas" and others) says that, although an atheist, she still finds quiet comfort in the church.
